Birchwood Fishing and Camping

Birchwood is a beautiful campside located just on the outskirts of Skegness. Set in the lovely Lincolnshire countryside, we are still just two miles from Skegness or Ingoldmells.

The site is mainly grass and has a very modern toilet/shower block which has disabled access. These facilities are free of charge and mains sockets are also available in both the ladies' and gents' toilets, ideal for hairdryers etc. Washing-up facilities are located at the end of the toilet block.

There are two large lakes on site, one of which is available for day fishing for a small fee so don't forget to bring your fishing tackle! Fish include common carp, koi carp, ghost carp, mirror carp, crucian carp, rudd, roach, tench and bream, the largest of which seen caught was 26lbs.

Dogs are welcome but we do ask owners to please keep them on a lead at all times and to clean up after them. There are many walks around the local countryside accessible just outside our entrance, through the surrounding fields to either Skegness, Winthorpe or further afield if you would like.

Skegness itself is home to an ongoing environmental effort to keep seal numbers at a healthy level in The Wash, and it all happens at Natureland Seal Sanctuary on North Parade. You can see the seals being fed, and view dozens of other animals including sheep, goats, penguins, tarantulas and tropical butterflies.

The Skegness attractions don't stop there for nature lovers - Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve offers hundreds of acres of unspoilt natural habitats for you to walk through, while outside town the Northcote Heavy Horse Centre and the National Parrot Sanctuary both walk the challenging line between attracting visitors and ensuring that their animals receive the best possible care.

What seaside town would be complete without its pier? Skegness is no exception, where a visit to the pier will light up your holiday with fun and action from some of the latest video games, prize machines and outdoor activities that stretch as far as a pleasant walk along the main deck. Relax and soak up the bracing Skeggy air!

The town's Embassy Theatre regularly welcomes a plethora of performers from comedians like the Chuckle Brothers to spectacular dance action from the Snow White on Ice team - and has even attracted the legendary Jools Holland.

Up the coast in Ingoldmells, the mesmerising Fantasy Island combines rides large and small, both inside its colossal glass pyramid and outdoors, with the opportunity to browse through hundreds of stalls at Eastgate Market - the biggest indoor seven-day market in Europe.

Skegness Stadium sits just a few miles outside town, and is home to some of the biggest racing on the UK stock-car racing scene, not least of all events like the UK Speed Weekend and national championships across the stock car board.

The nearby market town of Wainfleet too can boast its own unique attraction - Bateman's Brewery. Here you can see just how a pint comes to life as you take a look at what has become an increasingly successful venue for both individual and corporate visits.

Maybe it's not beer you're after, but your own hand-picked selection of delicious fruit? You can find a place for just that at Willows Farm, with its ten-acre field and farm shop providing all the produce you could wish for.

So in short, there's a lot more to Skegness attractions than you'd think! Why not come and see for yourself?

Liked: The shower and toilet facilities where very clean and the water from the showers was the perfect temperature. The pot washing facilities where very useful and the water from the sink taps was very hot. Great for washing greasy pots! These facilities where a reasonable walking distance from the pitches. The pond in the middle of the pitch was very appealing to wildlife and offered the opportunity to see great marine life. The sites grounds where well maintained and tidy. This site office was situated on the same field as the tent pitches and made campers feel safe as well as making local knowledge accessible.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing!! :)

Liked: The gentleman that greeted us was very friendly, explained to us where everything was and explained where we could pitch. It was ideal for a couple of nights stay, but did have option for electric hook-up for longer stays. The site was big enough to be spaced out. But small enough that everything wasn't and didn't feel like a mile long work especially to the bathroom. The bathroom area was clean to my surprise.

Disliked: It was difficult to find the reception, was not clearly posted.

Liked: Very good grass area for pitching the tents, enough space to allow privacy between neighbours. Site area well attended to, clean and tidy, fish pond and fishing lake a good attraction. Close enough drive to the beach and amenities but far enough away to enjoy some countryside peace and quiet. Shower and toilet block appears a fairly new building, kept reasonable clean.

Disliked: Only 2 male showers, had to que for a while, could do with a couple more/

Booking as a group?

You can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on Pitchup.com.

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.

Use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together when booking multiple pitches: the campsite or park will try to grant your request.

Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.

Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

If two couples book this type of pitch, this will be classed as a group booking which means a good behaviour bond of £10 per person is payable upon arrival and refunded at the end of your stay, provided that there have not been any complaints or problems.
